Important Notices

It is necessary to enter "decode=start& ch=(parameter value)&address=(parameter value)".

When not designating "enc_addr=(parameter value)&address=(parameter value)", it will take up to 500 ms to switch streams. To switch streams smoothly, request the first stream to the encoder. In this way, it will take within 150 ms to switch streams.
